Anything you would want to ask experts?Answered 19 hours ago
As an IILM University student, the most effective way I found to revise multiple CUET subjects in a short time is to be smart, not exhaustive.
First, I focus only on high-weightage and frequently repeated topics from each subject instead of trying to cover everything. That alone saves a lot of time.

I used CUET Mock to balance my preparation. First I revised my core subjects, then practiced short mocks on CUETMOCK for language, reasoning, and aptitude. It showed real exam patterns, highlighted weak areas, and made me confident for both sections.
